Those morons have a $150 hold on the account!

Just be glad it was only $150. I was at one airport where the
preauthorization was in the kilobuck range, and there was some problem
with the machine where the logical response was to swipe your card
again, making multiple preauthorizations. The FBO said they knew it
was broken, didn't know how to fix it, and charged me $0.10 per
gallon to get fuel out of the truck rather than self serve.
